Are you a student affairs professional working with student leadership programs? A staff or faculty member teaching leadership in the classroom? A graduate student interested in making leadership education a part of your future career? The Leadership Education Academy (LEA) is a new professional development opportunity brought to you by the International Leadership Association ( and developed by leadership educators in higher education. What is LEA? Sponsored by the International Leadership Association (ILA), the Leadership Education Academy (LEA) was designed by leadership educators in higher education with a variety of educational backgrounds, programming and classroom experiences, and association involvement. The academy is intended to be a complimentary experience to other established professional development programs for leadership educators. Structured as a cohort-style program, LEA is intentionally designed to advance one's ability to teach leadership in a variety of capacities. LEA participants will enhance their knowledge of leadership foundations and theories while exploring and practicing a variety of instructional strategies and pedagogies for use in curricular and co-curricular leadership education. LEA is limited to 60 participants in order to foster collaboration and networking in a supportive and hands-on learning environment where participants and facilitators share best practices. What will I experience at LEA? LEA is an inclusive program designed to take participants through facilitated experiential sessions on both content and pedagogy. Topics include leadership theory and development, learning outcomes and assessment, curriculum design, and instructional strategies within the context of curricular and co-curricular leadership programs. Academy facilitators

2 including top leadership educators and published authors from the field will model best practices and provide opportunities for participants to engage in a practice-feedbackreflection loop. While the curriculum will be intentionally rigorous and comprehensive, the environment will remain interactive and focus on peer and mentor-guided feedback. This format will lend itself to a small cohort-based approach that supports interactive learning, focused individual attention and development, as well as both formal and informal opportunities for participants and facilitators to connect. How is LEA unique? Immersive: LEA is designed to be an immersive experience for participants, providing opportunities to learn a variety of content in a structured, process-oriented environment through a singular, connected curriculum that spans across three days. Cohort-based: At LEA, participants will work, learn, practice, and provide feedback together. Opportunity for feedback and mentoring: LEA is deliberately inclusive, providing opportunities to interact and develop relationships with diverse peers in a variety of leadership education settings. Accordingly, occasions for peer- and mentor-driven feedback are built in to the program curriculum. Experiential: LEA is intentionally "hands on;" meaning that opportunities to practice in experiential, active learning environments are essential to the curriculum. Participants will be actors, not spectators. Intentional: LEA is purposely and intentionally designed to target key learning outcomes supported by leadership education literature and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Who should attend LEA? LEA is a three-day immersive training program for current or aspiring instructional and programmatic leadership educators in higher education. Anyone interested in increasing their foundational knowledge of leadership theory and teaching pedagogy, from new to seasoned leadership educators, are encouraged to attend. This may include Student Affairs professionals, graduate students, and faculty from a variety of disciplines who do or will teach leadership in credit-based courses or co-curricular programs. Those who attend will gain important foundational knowledge and skills in leadership theory and teaching pedagogy.
